Good morning, Union County. Ohio agriculture just scored a major win as local farmer Dennis Vennekotter steps onto the national stage with his election to the National Corn Growers Association Board. This prestigious appointment from Washington, D.C. puts our region's agricultural expertise in the spotlight and gives Ohio farmers a stronger voice in national policy discussions – something worth celebrating as corn harvest season approaches.
While one Union County resident rises in prominence, another threat is being battled closer to home. Worthington's early morning mosquito spraying campaign launches Thursday as West Nile virus cases surge across Franklin County. The timing couldn't be better for weekend plans, as Honda Marysville Motorsports hosts their monthly Bike and Car Night on July 25, featuring custom vehicles, free barbecue, and community fundraising for local nonprofit IMPACT60 – a perfect summer evening that mosquitoes won't be invited to attend.
